For most people the iPhone 13 is the best-value second hand iPhone: from ₹28,400 at WorthyTen, and the iPhone 14 adds little for about ₹4,000 more. Pay extra for the iPhone 15 if you want USB-C, the Dynamic Island and a 48 MP camera. If you want a 120Hz screen and a telephoto camera, a 13 Pro costs slightly less than a regular 15.

iPhone 13 vs iPhone 14
The two look almost the same and use the same A15 Bionic chip (the 14's version has one more graphics core). The iPhone 14 has a larger main camera sensor that is better in low light, Action mode for steadier video and Crash Detection. For about ₹4,000 more, most people are better off with the 13 — or saving towards a 15.
iPhone 14 vs iPhone 15
This is the bigger jump. The iPhone 15 has a 48 MP main camera with a 2x option, the Dynamic Island instead of the notch, the faster A16 chip and USB-C, so it charges with the same cable as most Android phones and laptops. The 15 costs about ₹10,000 more than the 14.
iPhone 15 vs iPhone 16e
At WorthyTen they cost the same. The iPhone 16e has a newer A18 chip, supports Apple Intelligence and has the Action button, and, being about 18 months newer, it is likely to get iOS updates for longer, though Apple does not announce end dates. The iPhone 15 has two rear cameras (including an ultra-wide), the Dynamic Island and MagSafe charging. Choose the 15 for the cameras; choose the 16e for speed, longer battery life and Apple Intelligence.
Should You Buy a Pro?
The iPhone 13 Pro gives you a 120Hz ProMotion screen, a 3x telephoto camera and macro photos for slightly less than a regular 15. The 14 Pro adds the Dynamic Island, an always-on display and a 48 MP main camera. The 15 Pro adds a titanium frame, USB-C with faster data transfer, the Action button and Apple Intelligence.
